Modeling Aquatic Macroinvertebrate Richness Using Landscape Attributes

Changes in macroinvertebrate richness and diversity following large scale rewetting measures in a heterogeneous bog landscape

Using ecological niche modeling to determine avian richness hotspots

Understanding distributions of wildlife species is a key step towards identifying biodiversity hotspots and designing effective conservation strategies. In this paper, the spatial pattern of diversity of birds in Golestan Province, Iran was estimated. Ecological niche modeling was used to determine distributions of 144 bird species across the province using a maximum entropy algorithm. Richness...

DIVISION S-5—PEDOLOGY Modeling Soil–Landscape and Ecosystem Properties Using Terrain Attributes

demonstrated the successful implementation of quantitative soil–landscape modeling on a broad landscape Soil–landscape patterns result from the integration of shortand scale useful for soil resource inventory and as a framelong-term pedogeomorphic processes. A 2-ha hillslope catena in Caliwork for understanding soil–landscape function. Moore fornia shows short-distance variation in A horizon de...

Modeling the Full Mimo Matrix Using the Richness Function

A richness function depending only on normalized eigenvalues of the MIMO channel matrix is introduced. The function is a good measure for comparing environments illuminated by the same antennas. A new channel model incorporating the effective number of scatterers and propagation between the antenna environments s introduced, and the richness function is introduced to extract channel parameters....

Aquatic macroinvertebrates associated with Eichhornia azurea (Swartz) Kunth and relationships with abiotic factors in marginal lentic ecosystems (São Paulo, Brazil).

Marginal lakes are characterised by their having high biological diversity due to the presence of aquatic macrophytes in their coastal zones, providing habitats for refuge and food for animal community members. Among the fauna components associated with macrophytes, aquatic macroinvertebrates are important because they are an energy source for predators and fish. In six lakes and two different ...
